Introduction

Welcome to version 1.0 of the Key to Internet Radio! The Key to Internet Radio was created by the Prometheus Radio Project with support from ITF and Surdna. The Wizard and the Manual and other documents will
help your station start streaming on the internet. There are many, many options for how to set up a web stream. The Key to Internet Radio simplifies things by starting with a limited number of good options. The Wizard then uses information about your needs to see which of those limited options are best for you.

The Key to Internet Radio focuses on the specifics of web streaming and assumes that you already have a structure to produce content. For guidance on topics such as fundraising, setting up a studio, and creating radio shows, visit our Station Support webpage.
